Aughey observed it near the mouth of the Nemaha in June, 1875. 

 It is present about Omaha and Peru all summer, and during 1900 

 nests were taken at the former locality by J. E. Wallace. Migrat- 

 ing individuals have b'een seen at Lincoln and Weeping . Water. 



642. Helminthophila chrysoptera (Linnaeus) — Golden-winged Warbler. 



The only record of this eastern warbler is the one made by Aughey 



who stated he had occasionally seen it in eastern Nebraska. As it 



occurs regularly west to Minnesota it may yet prove not rare in the 



Missouri bottoms where its breeding is quite possible. 



644. Helminthophila virginiae (Baird) — Virginia Warbler. 



Again our only record is Aughey's, who saw a single specimen of 

 this western warbler in a narrow belt of timber in the Republican 

 bottoms in Hitchcock county. Of course it must be considered but 

 a straggler in our state. 



645. *Helminthophila rubricapilla (Wilson) — Nashville Warbler. 



A common migrant and rare summer resident in the Missouri 

 river region along the eastern edge of the state, where it breeds. 

 Aughey found a young bird just from the nest June 10, 1865; and on 

 June 11,- 1900, at Nebraska City, M. A. Carriker, Jr., shot a female, 

 with well-formed eggs in her ovary which showed evidence of having 

 a nest in the vicinity ; the latter, however, he was unable to find. This 

 species remains all summer in the vicinity of Omaha, and has also 

 been seen at Weeping Water and West Point. 



646. Helminthophila celata (Say) — Orange-crowned Warbler. 



An abundant migrant, passing during the first half of May and late 

 in September to the middle of October. Breeds north of United 

 States except in mountains. Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Peru, West 

 Point, Neligh. 



647. Helminthophila peregrina (Wilson) — Tennessee Warbler. 



A common migrant in eastern Nebraska, passing early in May 

 and late in September, breeding north of us. Omaha, Lincoln, Peru, 

 West Point, Sioux county. 



648. Compsothlypis americana usneae Brewster — Northern Parula War- 



bler. 

 Aughey says of the Parula Warbler that it reaches Nebraska about 

 May l,that it is found principally along timber belts and in orchards, 

 and he has frequently seen the young soon after leaving the nest, 

 but has never found the nest itself. The only addition to this record 

 is a single male specimen taken April 20, 1901, near Havelock by 

 Merritt Cary. This specimen agrees with Ridgway's new form, 

 C. a. ramalinoe, but until action is taken by the A. O. U. committee, 

 our bird must be referred to usneae. 



650. Dendroica tigrina (Gmelin) — Cape May Warbler. 



A rare migrant. Two definite records, a male taken at Alda, May
